century which ended a series of long and drawn out conflicts between colonial and Indigenous groups. The treaties varied in purpose and function, but the general outcome saw Indigenous relegate authority over their lands to the British crown in exchange for protection by the Crown, land reserves and fishing rights. Furthermore, the court found that the federal fishery regulations which were enforced by the department of Oceans and Fisheries regarding closed fishing seasons and licensing infringed on this basic treaty right. In the second decision, the Court sought to properly elaborate, expand, and define the extension of Aboriginal treaty rights. The Court claimed that Aboriginal treaty rights are subject to the authority and influence of Canadian law and jurisprudence. The Court ultimately held that the appeal should be allowed, as it is vital in upholding the honour and integrity of the Crown and its dealing and relationship with the Mi’Kmaq people. I agree with the conclusion the Supreme Court came too. Treaties are nothing if they are not respected and upheld to the highest degree in which they were originally intended. Should a state such as Canada disregard its legally prescribed duties to fulfill its part of an agreement, it would set a very ugly and potentially disastrous precedence in the future.

1. Why does the government maintain Canadian ownership rules for broadcasting in Canada? Historically, the government has considered broadcasting an all-important part of Canadian national security and even "military defense strategy" (Armstrong, 2010, p. 207). For example, during wartime, foreign ownership of Canadian broadcasting could be used for propaganda purposes. In the present day, Canadian ownership rules are seen as important for protecting Canada's cultural sovereignty. By the…
radio? Response: By licensing community radio, the CRTC tries to achieve the policy of expanding community elements of the Canadian broadcasting system. Community radio helps to increase the amount of Canadian-produced programming; it broadcasts musical, cultural, and artistic content, news, information, and discussions of topics of concern, all at the local and regional levels which may be neglected by public and private radio stations.

Television In Canada there is only one national television network which is owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
